The new army commanded by Liu Zhang were all attacking Shi Cheng, but their attacks were not going smoothly. Firstly, Shi Yan city was surrounded by steep terrain, making it difficult to defend and attack. Secondly, the defending troops were tenacious, fighting with their lives on the line.
Tang Yin only looked at the siege that day, and was no longer interested in watching anymore. Although the strong attacks that day had not progressed at all, from Tang Yin's point of view, the situation had already been set, and there was no suspense.
The difference in strength between the two sides was simply too great. Even if they did not succeed on the first day, it would be difficult for their Ann Army to withstand their own side's attacks on the second and third day.
He only needed to see Liu Zhang's ability to command and fight.
That night, after withdrew his Feng Army and returned to the camp, he looked for Tang Yin again. There were no longer any traces of Tang Yin in the camp.
Liu Zhang was shocked and anxious. If the King went missing in her own army camp, then what was wrong with him? He anxiously looked for Yin Lan and Ren Xiao who were with Tang Yin, and asked them where the King was.
Ren Xiao laughed and did not speak. Yin Lan said: "The King went to the Fenshui City. She said that she wanted to first inquire about the situation there!"
Liu Zhang was shocked, and asked: "How many men does the King have with him?"
Yin Lan replied: "Only the three generals and the four generals."
"What?" The Great King only brought two people to the Fenshui City? What if she encountered the enemy? Why didn't you stop them? " Liu Zhang panicked and roared at Yin Lan with a red face and thick neck.
Yin Lan was full of grievance. If the King wanted to leave, she had to be able to stop him even if she wanted to! At this time, Ren Xiao laughed: "General Liu, no need to be nervous, what you need to worry about is not your King, but the enemies of Fenshui City!"
Liu Zhang was still very respectful to this Divine Pool Lord, he calmed his mind and thought about it, what he said made sense, with the King's Spirit Force, even if they met an enemy, escaping would not be a problem.
Thinking of this, his heart grew calmer. Then, he shook his head and sighed. He bitterly smiled as he said, "It seems that my King is extremely dissatisfied with my commanding today. She is too lazy to continue watching."
Ren Xiao laughed and said: "General Liu has guessed wrongly this time, from my point of view, with Feng King's personality, if she was truly dissatisfied with your orders, she would definitely not leave the military camp and would instead stay to supervise the battle personally. The reason why Feng King was able to withdraw from the Fenshui City, just means that she is completely at ease with your orders, and feels that she has left without anything to do with you."
Hearing that, Liu Zhang's eyes lit up, his hazy mood suddenly cleared up. He strongly patted his head and laughed at himself, "Aiya, I'm really anxious and confused! Thank you Young Master Ren for your reminder, I can finally relax now. "
Ren Xiao laughed but did not speak, his eyes revealing a look of dejection.
Tang Yin said that he was going to the Fenshui City to gather information, but there were Sky Eye s and Earth Web, these two intelligence agencies. Furthermore, he only brought Ah San and Ah Si along. With how secretive he was, there must definitely be some other secret.
The only thing that Ren Xiao could think of was that Tang Yin wanted to borrow Fenshui City to raise his own cultivation. Fenshui City had a large number of thirty thousand people, and to Tang Yin who was in a hurry to break through cultivation realm, it was equivalent to thirty thousand panacea, tonics, and delicacies.
Thirty thousand living creatures ? Ren Xiao lamented in his heart.
Ren Xiao and Tang Yin had not known each other for long, but he knew Tang Yin very well. His guess was right, Tang Yin had sneakily gone to the Fenshui City, not to gather any information, but to increase his cultivation.
The Feng Army was very calm on the side, and there were no Feng Army in the surroundings. Relatively speaking, the defense of the Fenshui City was relatively more relaxed, and this just happened to give Tang Yin the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
In the wee hours of the morning, before dawn, the warriors who were on guard duty at night were at their most exhausted and tired. The Spirit Cultivator soldiers standing at the top of the city wall all kept their Arts of Clairvoyance back, leaning against the arrow battlements listlessly, and napping with their heads lowered.
A was in a half asleep state, and suddenly felt the fluctuations of a Spirit Pressure beside him. It was the reaction of a Spirit Cultivator that suddenly appeared in front of him.
He opened his eyes in a hurry, wanting to see what was going on, but all he saw was a blur before his eyes, and immediately after, a palm burning with black flames stabbed straight into his throat.
Whoosh! The Black Fire instantly burned all over his body, he opened his mouth, wanting to scream, but was unable to utter a single word. The palm that pierced his throat had already cut off his windpipe.
His body softly fell to the ground. His helmet fell off and crashed onto the stone wall with a crisp clang. When the guards heard the noise, they opened their sleepy eyes and looked over.
Everyone's eyes that were originally in confusion suddenly widened, their pupils suddenly contracting, as their own Spirit Cultivator s fell to the ground, and beside them, squatted a 'monster'.
From the looks of it, they should be human, but their entire body was burning with black flames. What was even more frightening was that there were two balls of strange and frightening green light flashing within the Black Fire.
"Demon ?" Monster, demon ? Yes... It's a monster! " One of the Ann Army s felt goosebumps all over his body, a chill ran down his spine as he screamed.
It was better that he didn't shout. The moment he did, the two balls of green light slowly turned around and stared straight at him. The Ann Army was frightened out of its wits, it howled and jumped up from the ground, then turned and ran. He was fast, and that 'monster' was even faster. It instantly rushed to his back and stabbed its hand into his heart.
Plop! Another corpse fell to the ground under the burning Black Fire. The surrounding Ann Army felt their scalps go numb, their legs go soft, then they let out a weird cry and scattered as they fled.0
The monster obviously didn't have any intention of letting them go. Following two rustling sounds, two more crescent-shaped Scimitar s appeared in his hands, and as the Scimitar entered his hands, the Black Fire in his palms immediately spread onto the blade, and his body became faster, faster, more like lightning yet like a ghost, appearing and disappearing from the side of the Ann Army. The fleeing Ann Army were all covered by the Black Fire s, and many of them were burning their entire bodies with Black Fire.
Every one of the corpses had different wounds on their bodies, but their skin was still similarly pale white, and even their black pupils had turned the same gray.
The night was as peaceful as ever. Killing intent filled the air around the city walls as corpses littered the ground, but there was no smell of blood. A group of Black Fire stood in the middle of the corpses, two rays of green light shone out, the entire scene looked strange and terrifying.
At this time, footsteps came from below the city wall, and an armored Ann Soldier walked out of a nearby tent. He looked at the city head and asked: "Hey, it's still not dawn, what are you guys doing up above?"
No one answered him, on the city walls, he did not see a single person, just when he was confused, a group of Black Fog suddenly appeared beside him. Following that, the Black Fog congealed into a human form, his mouth slowly opened, and just as he was about to shout, the other party's blade had already sliced past his neck.
There was still no blood. The corpse with all its essence evaporated lay lifeless on the ground like a lump of mud, its lifeless eyes wide open. The black shadow didn't even look at the corpse on the ground. After sucking in all the Spiritual Qi in the air, it picked up its two blades and walked into the tent ?
When the sky brightened, the Fenshui City s were in an uproar. Rumors started up in all directions, and a terrifying atmosphere enveloped the hearts of everyone in the city.
Near the walls of the North City, the city walls were filled with Generals And Soldiers of Ann Army s, but the entire place was completely silent, terrifyingly silent. The people's expressions were heavy, their eyes blankly staring at the walls.
Among them were ordinary Ann Country soldiers, as well as the Spirit Cultivator s and generals of the Ann Army. There were different kinds of wounds on their bodies, including knife wounds and claw wounds, but there was one thing that was similar: their blood seemed to have been sucked dry by something in an instant.
"Who can tell me what exactly happened to my North City last night?" Within a night, over a thousand of the defending troops at the side of the North City Gate had all been killed.
No one knew what exactly happened at the North City, when the enemies arrived, and how they managed to kill so many of their own forces. One of the officers said with a trembling voice: "Reporting to my lord, this morning, the brothers who changed guard came to the North City side and saw the corpses of our brothers. Many of our brothers died in the tents, without armor or weapons, obviously they were killed in their sleep, if it was an enemy attack, it would be impossible for them to be this silent, and it would be impossible for them to run after fighting. In addition, looking at the corpses, many of the wounds on our brothers' bodies were not fatal, but their blood was sucked dry, this is evident ? He clearly wasn't an enemy ? It's not something that a human can do. I estimate that last night, North City side probably ? Maybe a ghost is here! "
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present couldn't help but shiver. Their faces were bloodless and their bodies were cold.
"Nonsense!" Wei Ling said angrily: "How can there be ghosts in this world? If you dare mislead me again, and confuse my morale, I will behead you! "
The general trembled in fear and did not dare to say another word. He bowed his head and retreated.
"Burn these brothers' corpses properly. Tonight, all of you better keep your spirits up. The four cities will have double the sentries and will need to be patrolled. Do you understand?" Wei Ling clenched his fist and said.
"Yes!" "My Lord!" All the generals answered in unison.
Wei Ling could suppress the hearts of the defenders, but not the hearts of the citizens.
Rumors of ghosts killing thousands of soldiers in one night quickly spread among the people. Under the immense fear, people naturally went to find a target to vent their feelings on.
Very quickly, people brought up that Yue Ze had messed up the royal family, that he had suffered the wrath of the heavens, and the defending army of Fenshui City continued to be loyal to the king, which was why there were so many ghosts that had caused trouble, this was their retribution.
Defending the city, especially when fighting against the strong with the weak, was extremely important. Once the civilians and the soldiers were separated, it would be very difficult to defend the town anymore.
Fenshui City was currently facing such an awkward situation.
